Let me help you pass interviews

Day: October 4, 2017

Are you worried about your next job interview? Well, the good news is that most of the applicants are. Even before people actually head to the interview, the stress bells begin to toll way before that. The dread as to whether or not you will clear it, the dilemma of not having a job and the pressure to pay all those bills which keep mounting up is just too much. Amidst so much of stress, most of us often forget how to give our best shot. It is easier for us all to constantly nag to our friends saying “I need a job” than actually do the work.

This is the reason, we are going to share some of the best tips which might just help you clinch your interview and get rid of the stress which might be getting too much to bear.

Dress well

Never forget to dress right when you are headed for an interview. You might have the urge to show that uber cool swag of yours, but your job interview isn’t the ground to take that risk. While a lot of companies have become very casual when it comes to the dressing because they want people to be their comfortable self. The interview round is still the place where you need to be formal.

So, make it a point to wear a well ironed formal shirt (for men). Also, it is equally important to have great shoes which need to be clean and polished. Dirty shoes can be a huge turn-off.

Arrange everything

You will, of course, need to carry quite a lot of documents. Once again, it is important to have a folder with everything neatly arranged. You do not want to look clumsy in front of your interviewer. Do not stress your brain too much by giving it more load than what it can handle. This is why if you have the entire documents neatly stacked in the folder; it will save you the embarrassment of nervousness while trying to find the right paper when your interviewer asks for one.

Think before you speak

You have no idea as to how long your interview may be. You might be subjected to stress interview or you may even have a rigorous technical one. Whatever be the case, you should concentrate on it one question at a time.

Interviewers aren’t time rounds which mean that you have the liberty of taking your own sweet time while answering. That being said, you should not end up waiting half an hour for every question as this might just break your interviewer’s patience. However, what we mean is that do not rush with the answers.

Never forget the sign-off

When you are leaving the premises after the job, never forget to thank the interviewer and always mention that you had a good time. These are very little things which are marked meticulously. Also, under no case can you afford to forget sending the thank you email after the interview. We have seen that in a lot of cases it ended up playing the clinching factor.

A thank you email after the interview is your second chance of creating the perfect impression and it might just help your interview be double sure that you are the right candidate for the job. So, the sign-off holds a great deal of importance.

These are some of the things you should keep in mind. We have seen a lot of applicants manage to make the cut merely because they followed the basics well. You too can do that.

In the end, remember that it isn’t the only job interview you will ever face. So, give in your best and do not fret too much about the results.
